Image is of a Hezbollah missile attack on a military camp west of Jenin.


The situation between Hezbollah and Israel is rapidly escalating, with massive bombing campaigns on southern Lebanon by Israel predominantly on civilians (as the tunnels in South Lebanon are mostly unreachable to the Zionists, just like in Gaza), while Hezbollah and its allies respond with missile attacks predominantly on Israeli military facilities. Israel is spreading an evacuation order to the residents of southern Lebanese villages while also bombing their routes of escape and civilian infrastructure, similar to a terror tactic used widely in Gaza.

Northern Israel is currently under military censorship to hide their losses, so we get very little information other than what the Resistance provides and what videos and images get through the censors.

I don't know if Israel will dare a ground incursion soon, but it seems fairly likely in the coming days or weeks.

Israel-Palestine Conflict

If you have evidence of Israeli crimes and atrocities that you wish to preserve, there is a thread here in which to do so.

Sources on the fighting in Palestine against Israel. In general, CW for footage of battles, explosions, dead people, and so on:

UNRWA reports on Israel's destruction and siege of Gaza and the West Bank.

English-language Palestinian Marxist-Leninist twitter account. Alt here.
English-language twitter account that collates news.
Arab-language twitter account with videos and images of fighting.
English-language (with some Arab retweets) Twitter account based in Lebanon. - Telegram is @IbnRiad.
English-language Palestinian Twitter account which reports on news from the Resistance Axis. - Telegram is @EyesOnSouth.
English-language Twitter account in the same group as the previous two. - Telegram here.

English-language PalestineResist telegram channel.
More telegram channels here for those interested.

Russia-Ukraine Conflict

Examples of Ukrainian Nazis and fascists
Examples of racism/euro-centrism during the Russia-Ukraine conflict

Sources:

Defense Politics Asia's youtube channel and their map. Their youtube channel has substantially diminished in quality but the map is still useful.
Moon of Alabama, which tends to have interesting analysis. Avoid the comment section.
Understanding War and the Saker: reactionary sources that have occasional insights on the war.
Alexander Mercouris, who does daily videos on the conflict. While he is a reactionary and surrounds himself with likeminded people, his daily update videos are relatively brainworm-free and good if you don't want to follow Russian telegram channels to get news. He also co-hosts The Duran, which is more explicitly conservative, racist, sexist, transphobic, anti-communist, etc when guests are invited on, but is just about tolerable when it's just the two of them if you want a little more analysis.
Simplicius, who publishes on Substack. Like others, his political analysis should be soundly ignored, but his knowledge of weaponry and military strategy is generally quite good.
On the ground: Patrick Lancaster, an independent and very good journalist reporting in the warzone on the separatists' side.

Unedited videos of Russian/Ukrainian press conferences and speeches.

Pro-Russian Telegram Channels:

Again, CW for anti-LGBT and racist, sexist, etc speech, as well as combat footage.

https://t.me/aleksandr_skif ~ DPR's former Defense Minister and Colonel in the DPR's forces. Russian language.
https://t.me/Slavyangrad ~ A few different pro-Russian people gather frequent content for this channel (~100 posts per day), some socialist, but all socially reactionary. If you can only tolerate using one Russian telegram channel, I would recommend this one.
https://t.me/s/levigodman ~ Does daily update posts.
https://t.me/patricklancasternewstoday ~ Patrick Lancaster's telegram channel.
https://t.me/gonzowarr ~ A big Russian commentator.
https://t.me/rybar ~ One of, if not the, biggest Russian telegram channels focussing on the war out there. Actually quite balanced, maybe even pessimistic about Russia. Produces interesting and useful maps.
https://t.me/epoddubny ~ Russian language.
https://t.me/boris_rozhin ~ Russian language.
https://t.me/mod_russia_en ~ Russian Ministry of Defense. Does daily, if rather bland updates on the number of Ukrainians killed, etc. The figures appear to be approximately accurate; if you want, reduce all numbers by 25% as a 'propaganda tax', if you don't believe them. Does not cover everything, for obvious reasons, and virtually never details Russian losses.
https://t.me/UkraineHumanRightsAbuses ~ Pro-Russian, documents abuses that Ukraine commits.

Pro-Ukraine Telegram Channels:

Almost every Western media outlet.
https://discord.gg/projectowl ~ Pro-Ukrainian OSINT Discord.
https://t.me/ice_inii ~ Alleged Ukrainian account with a rather cynical take on the entire thing.

Our wonderful cuck-in-chief Arevalo has agreed to send 150 military police over to Haiti.

The funniest part about us sending our military overseas is learning how fucking useless they are when they aren’t massacring children. We lost a couple of our “elite” special forces in Africa because they decided to go on a suicide mission thinking it would pay off.

There has been, for lack of a better term, some doomer vs resistance bloomer discourse as of late when it comes to "Israel" vs. the wider rrsidtance formation, particularly Hezbollah.

Bad taste "owns" on either side ar, wu h as they are, not particularly productive, though I understand the catharsis they bring when horrors are visited by our enemies. But I am curious about how individuals and external formations (like your own organizations) arrive at conclusions and what analytical frameworks they bring. I am personally curious about having more correct views but would also like to self-crit my own biases and make my own orgs better.

How do you all find and digest information about Gaza, Lebanon, and the wider movement to oppose "Israeli" settlers and their American backers? Of course I personally ally absorb a mix of mainstream and primary sources, comparing e.g. Reuters to direct Hezbollah and PFLP statements. But how do you personally synthesize this information? Do you do it alone or as a group in your org?

And more importan, how do you concretely assist the resistance? I underst6 I'd this is not safely communicable, but I appreciate any help in providing direction.

Personally, I feel impotent as my audience, via my orgs, are liberal laymen and I try to get them to be less genocidal and to join orgs that are pro-Palestinian. This has direct results by I feel like it is less than, for example, just funnelimg funds to the PFLP. I would prefer to do the latter but I also assume it I'd already highly illegal and would be shut off immedia if I tried it.

I also assume that anyone helping the resistance cannot tell me how to directly assist. Buy I appreciate any hints or direction.

So, like, from Satanyahu's point of view, this is the time to accept a ceasefire and hostage deal right?

The whole personal point of continuing the wars for him is that he's in trouble with the law and a lot of people didn't like him, but now with these successes in Lebanon his party is leading the polls again, and the AJ+ guy on the latest chapo said that (and this was BEFORE killing Nasrallah) he was the most popular politician in Israel again, so if he starts moving towards accepting a ceasefire while he's a ugh """hero""" to israelis won't that mean they'll think twice before prosecuting the man who "saved northern israel"?

[–] ElChapoDeChapo@hexbear.net 36 points 9 months ago

Maybe but I think it may be way too late for a ceasefire at this point, not to mention most of those hostages gottta be fucking dead by now either from indiscriminate zionist bombing or starved to death because of the blockade

In addition to being bad at projecting power in the Arctic and bad at fighting Yemen the Danish military is also bad at managing money.

Despite having received their greatest budget ever this year and despite the regime pushing for aggressive head-over-heels military buildup, they have now run out of money and have cancelled live fire drills, participation in exercises and restricted recruitment. The Danish navy is effectively incapacitated with no frigates being operational at the moment.

The reason for this is the practice of "over-budgeting" where military bureaucrats would plan more activities than they had budget for. The reasoning behind this practice is that they expected not being able to carry out all planned activities due to exercises being cancelled and people quitting. And rather than not using their entire budget and having to hand the surplus back, they would rather plan extra expenses to be sure they spend their entire budget.

Politicians are mad and despite initially sticking to neoliberal orthodoxy and ruling out extra funding, the regime has now made statements about being open to give the military extraordinary funding to close some of the gaps.
